Test Registration & Scheduling Information

Registration

Scheduling

Once you have registered to take a test, you may immediately schedule your test appointment online in your My APICS account 7 days per week, 24 hours per day. Test appointments are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.

After you schedule your test appointment, Pearson VUE will send a confirmation email listing your selected test date and testing time, the address and phone number of the test center, and directions to the test center. Please check this information carefully for any errors.

Rescheduling an exam

Candidates who need to reschedule their exam appointment within their chosen window can make modifications directly in their My APICS account or by calling Pearson VUE direct. There is a non-refundable USD $45 rescheduling fee. Reschedule requests received less than 24 hours before the scheduled exam appointment will not be accepted, and if the candidate does not test, the candidate forfeits the exam fees. Candidates who need to reschedule their examination in the same window should not cancel their exam appointment. Candidates must reschedule the examination through their My APICS account or by contacting Pearson VUE directly. APICS cannot accept cancellation/reschedule requests by email.

To reschedule your appointment online, visit the APICS website at apics.org/myapics and log in to your MY APICS account. Then click on the “My APICS” link in the top right hand corner navigation and select “My APICS Certifications” located on the right hand side of the page.

If candidates need to reschedule their exam appointment to a different window, they should follow the cancellation policy below.

Canceling an exam

Candidates have the option to cancel their exam appointment with Pearson VUE by logging into their My APICS account and going to the My APICS Certifications page, selecting Exam Authorization and Credits and selecting the “Reschedule” option next to their exam. Candidates must pay the USD $45 cancellation fee. Candidates will receive a confirmation email from Pearson VUE. This does not cancel the ATT. All ATT purchases are non-refundable.

Before canceling the examination, if you wish to test in a later testing window, it is the responsibility of the candidate to ensure that their authorization is valid for the next testing window. If a candidate cancels an exam and their authorization is not valid for another window, they will need to reschedule in the same window and the candidate forfeits their cancellation fee. No refunds or transfers will be issued. You must cancel your examination through your My APICS account or by contacting Pearson VUE directly. APICS cannot accept cancellation requests by email.

Once the cancellation has been processed, candidates should allow one business day for the cancellation information to be updated in the APICS system. Once the cancellation has been updated, candidates will receive a new confirmation email with the same window and expiration information. At that time, candidates can then access the ATT form at www.apics.org/att and select the View/Update an existing Authorization to Test option to choose a new exam window. If a candidate chooses a new window that starts within six months of the original date the ATT was issued, no additional fees will be assessed. If a candidate selects a new window that starts after 6 months from the original ATT issue date, they must pay a new exam fee. No refunds or transfers will be issued.
